I’ve had this bottle for about 2 years, it doesn’t leak, the color (purple) is super cute and EXACTLY the same as the day I got it, the seal is perfect (NEVER LEAKS), no rust, no funny tastes or smells. It’s easy to clean with a bottle washer and I’ve woken up more than once with ice still in my cup (no matter the season). It has made it much easier for me to remember to drink water ALL day. I’m also clumsy and have dropped this bottle SEVERAL times and there’s no visible damage. It’s easy to hold and lift out of a bag. I don’t have a single complaint about this water bottle. I have purchased SEVERAL this is the ONLY one that isn’t in the cabinet collecting DUST.
